Sagging floors and wall cracks. I would like to receive an estimate on crawl space piers to support floors in a few areas of the house.

House has apparently sunk. New countertops installed 12 years ago are now about 3/8 separated from back splash (kitchen).

Overall we had good service with the install and with the service call. The service guy called us (which is great I think) to let us know that he was running ahead of schedule and asked if he could come earlier. We told him that it would be great if he did. Not only did the earlier he came free up the rest of the day for us, it also allowed him to do the same for your next customer.

The most common cause of foundation issues is one you can't control – the soil beneath your home. Soil expansion and contraction can make your foundation move in ways it was never supposed to. However, you do get to decide who to call when you notice foundation issues around your home, such as wall and floor cracks, sticking windows and doors, or bowing walls.

Columbus, GA radon testing and mitigation

Whether you're looking to sell your home or if you're planning on staying, having an up-to-date radon reading is the safest option.

Cracking and shifting in a foundation could potentially cause big problems for homeowners. For Cathy D. it was a matter that needed to be addressed very quickly. While she was watching television she had seen an ad for Alabama Foundation Specialists. Cathy quickly got in touch with Regan Williams. Regan was a trained professional and knew exactly what to do. He had suggested our SmartJack system as well as our Helical Piers system.

SmartJack is a supplemental support system for the crawl space. The SmartJack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists. The Helical Piers works with the Smart Jack while using rugged steel galvanized helical piers advanced deep into the earth’s soil to transfer the weight of your home and eventually stabilize the home over time. This prevents anymore cracking and shifting in the foundation.

There was nothing but a smile on Cathy’s face when Primary Foreman Juan Castillo finished the job!
